Iowa has become the first state to approve an "ag-gag" bill that
makes undercover filming in a farm a misdemeanor. Animal activists and
caring consumers are outraged that this piece of legislation actually
protects the ones who abuse animals and punishes those who expose it.
Matthew Dominguez, a spokesman for the Humane Society of the United
States, puts it well: "The intent behind the legislation is to put a
chilling effect on whistleblowers on factory farms… It begs the
question of, what exactly does animal agriculture have to hide?" To

Factory farmed animals in Iowa are at the mercy
of giant corporations that seem to only care about profit. How have we
arrived at this place? Aren't we, stewards of God's Creation, called
to be good caretakers of all animals ensuring that they are treated
with compassion and mercy? It’s sad the Christian church at large has
not shown outrage about this issue. Silence takes the side of the
oppressor.
